Further Information

The Postgraduate Program of the Department of Oil and Gas Technology combines a) administrative and oil industry management strategy issues (upstream and downstream) and b) modern Oil and Gas extraction technologies. It is aimed at graduates who want to acquire strong skills, innovative research papers and theses of excellence.The structure of the Master's program is based on interdisciplinarity and integrates the demands and expectations of the market where the economy and the oil mechanics are intertwined and interact. The interdisciplinarity of the program is reflected in the teaching staff. Distinguished professors from all universities in Greece and abroad and internationally recognized experts in engineering cooperate in the program.The main aims of the M.Sc. postgraduate program in Oil & Gas Technology are: Excellence. Provide high quality postgraduate studies. Innovative educational environment. Create scientists with specialized skills, making the specific difference for successful careers in the private, public and academic sectors. Preparation for postgraduate doctoral studies.

The program lasts three (3) semesters and consists of ten (10) courses (all compulsory). Each course corresponds to six (6) credits (ECTS) and is taught five (5) hours per week, while Thesis is equivalent to thirty (30) credits. The Master of Science degree is awarded after completion of ninety (90) credits.

Relation To Employment

Holders of qualifications that belong to this type may work either as self-employed or in positions of responsibility in companies and organizations in the private or in the public sector.

Transitions

Access to this type of qualification have those who hold a Bachelor Degree (level 6). The selection of graduate students is mainly based on the following criteria: the overall grade of the Bachelor Degree, the grades in undergraduate courses that are relevant with the subjects of the Master’s program, the performance in thesis, where is foreseen at the undergraduate level and any research activity of the candidate. The detailed application of the above mentioned criteria, the definition of additional criteria or the conducting of examinations and interviews, the results of which are taken into account in the selection, are determined by decision of the relevant Department.
